Hi Roger,
I agree, books.google.com would be better I think. But it's possible that
everyone doesn't know about it as a source for helping to clarify unclear

Thanks for bringing up books.google.com Now folks who might want to check
it out can!

I think I understand what is being talked about now, but it doesn't seem
like something that would be very efficient. How, for example, could you get
the spelling of a word from an audio book? I think Google books is a better
option.
